(Saw this question asked on another popular link aggregation website and it got me thinking)
If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would you choose? This might be because you want to do it all again, or because you don't think you got enough out of it the first time. It could be experiencing the game exactly as you were back then, or experiencing a game with what you know now.
For me, it's Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, experienced exactly as I was back in 1991.
Nothing comes close to how jaw-droppingly amazed I was by that opening sequence. The epic orchestral score, the cinematic rainstorm, creeping around in the dark... it was a generational leap above anything I'd played on 8-bit computers and consoles, and even the Megadrive. I'd love to play it again without thirty plus years of Nintendo/Zelda knowledge, or without knowing about the dark world.
OUTER WILDS.
It's a fantastic exploration game if you go in blind and I wish I could forget it all and explore it all again.
I'm shocked that this isn't everyone's answer tbh lol
Those are the people that haven't played it yet.
I got it in my library and only played for 10 minutes somehow. After reading als those comments maybe now it's time to play it
Yeah, it really was amazing to play blind. We especially enjoyed the DLC... when we first realised what it was all about, it nearly blew our minds!
Yeah, I've never wtf'd so hard in a game as when I entered the thing and left the other thing in the DLC.
That game was so well done and thought through.
What's sad is that I know I will forget the lore and the journey on how I figured out how I got to the end. But I don't think I'll forget the specifics for the ending.
